Rolling Bearings

The HGT Roller Bearings include four main types: Cylindrical Roller Bearings, Tapered Roller Bearings, Thrust Roller Bearings, and Spherical Roller Bearings. These bearings are designed to provide high load capacity, excellent rigidity, and long service life under heavy radial or axial loads. Depending on the type, they can accommodate misalignment, combined loads, and high-speed conditions in industrial machinery, rolling mills, and heavy equipment applications.

Difference between Four Types of Roller Bearings (Cylindrical, Tapered, Thrust, and Spherical Type)

The difference lies in the shape of the rolling elements and the direction of load they can support.

• Cylindrical Roller Bearings feature cylindrical rollers that make line contact with the raceways. They are ideal for carrying heavy radial loads and allow for high-speed operation.

• Tapered Roller Bearings use conical rollers that can simultaneously support radial and axial loads. The load capacity increases with the contact angle, making them suitable for combined load applications such as gearboxes and wheel hubs.

• Thrust Roller Bearings are designed to handle large axial loads in one direction. They can sustain heavy thrust loads with minimal space requirements, commonly used in vertical shafts and heavy-duty presses.

• Spherical Roller Bearings have barrel-shaped rollers and a spherical raceway, allowing for automatic self-alignment. They can tolerate misalignment and heavy combined loads, making them ideal for mining, steel, and paper industries.
